Really? You like that? I always thought that the benefit, the reason why the output followed the mu of the bottom triode was that the top triode, or in this case the pentode, was floating. That's not the case with this circuit. Also, the triode's plate resistor is 220K. That seems enormous to me. So large is it that I wonder whether one could simply connect the top of the 220K resistor to V+. And if you look at the circuit modified in that way, you might see that this is just a ho-hum common cathode triode voltage amp connected to a pentode cathode follower with a large voltage swing. It is drawn like a mu follower, but I really wonder whether there is that benefit when the cathode of the top pentode is grounded.
